Some South Milwaukee sports news beyond the football field … thanks for the update from Ante Udovicic.
ROCKET MARCHING BAND
The Rocket Marching Band has had a successful competition season this Fall. Their season started with a 3rd place finish in AAA band competition at Waukesha South on September 28th. Back-to-back competitions were held October 5 at Greendale and October 6 at Wisconsin Lutheran High School, where the Rocket Marching Band earned their highest score in competition ever at Greendale, and finished in 2nd place at both competitions. This year’s show, How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse, is a favorite among audiences. Their full competition show will be performed at the last home football game for Homecoming on October 11th, followed by a final competitive performance at the WSMA State Marching Band competition at UW-Whitewater on Saturday, October 19th. The performance time at Whitewater is 6:00pm. Details on admission fees and band schedules are available at the WSMA website.

The Rockets had their final home match of the season last week and it produced their most exciting win when they came back from a 2-1 deficit to win in 5 games! Great job Rockets. Good luck today in Pewaukee and on Saturday at the Brookfield East tournament!

And here is an alumni update …
TAYLOR ZAESKE (2013)
See below for a cool update about 2013 SM Alum Taylor Zaeske and former GVB standout and who is the ECAC Girls’ Volleyball Player-of-the-Week for the 2nd week in-a-row! Pretty great start to her college volleyball career I would say. Way to go Taylor!
ALY PINKOS (2010)
Aly was named to the Midwest Women’s LaCrosse Conference All-Academic Team in July, 2013. While we don’t have LaCrosse here, Aly was a great athlete at SM as a #1 tennis player, basketball player and starting pitcher in softball. Nice job Aly!

TREY McKINNEY-JONES (2008)
Trey took part in the Milwaukee Bucks Fan Fest last Saturday and played in the 24 minute scrimmage. Trey was 0-2 from the field, but pulled down 5 rebounds and had an assist and showed that he can certainly play in the league. Anyone want to guess who the last player (long after any other player was out there) was out on the court after the scrimmage ended signing autographs? Yep, that would be Trey. A Bucks person had to walk up to get him to stop signing and head back to the locker room, otherwise Trey might have been there for 20 more minutes.
